  • Postie Importing Packets

    From vorlon@21:1/195.1 to apam on Thu Jun 30 22:58:28 2022
    Hi Apam,

    could you please modify postie so that it imports packets/messages based
    on the date and not random..

    It's annoying seeing replies to posts before the original message comes
    up on the system.

    Ok. I have added some sorting routines, so if you have a bunch of packets in your inbound it will attempt to toss them in order.

    It might work, it might not.

    Usually you toss packets as they arrive, and so they're automatically in the order they are received.

    Is it in the gitlab repo?

    in the order they are received.

    A case in point with this point system. Late last night or was it this
    morning (I think it was something like 1:30am) the amount of mail was 52 packets. When I did this mail run this morning (11am) there was another
    24 packets....

    It's very noticable when polling isn't as frequent like a node might have configured to poll every hour...
